His first column, “Climate of Complete Certainty,” began by discussing the “complete certainty” that Hillary Clinton would win the election – which is obviously false – and then proceeded to link that to a point regarding the consensus on climate change.

Now, did Stephens deny climate change? Anyone who read the column knows he didn’t. Rather, his column states “Claiming total certainty about the science traduces the spirit of science and creates openings for doubt whenever a climate claim proves wrong,” and later, “None of this is to deny climate change or the possible severity of its consequences. But ordinary citizens also have a right to be skeptical of an overweening scientism.”

Of course, accepting climate change while questioning whether or not all the hysteria surrounding it is 100 percent accurate was too much for the Times’ audience, who are reportedly canceling their subscriptions in droves.

I'm on hold with the @nytimes trying to cancel. They told me they're slammed with people canceling subscriptions because of Bret Stephens.
